One person looked for Yuan Tiangang to tell his fortune, and Yuan Tiangang turned around and threw away the guajin and said: Don't take money from dead people
In ancient times, science and technology were not developed, many ancient people would have a superstitious psychology, and when they encountered some various phenomena that people could not explain, they all thought that this was fate, which was arranged by God. It is also because of this psychology that when they encounter things, they like to calculate their fortunes first, so they have the profession of fortune teller, which has continued to the present, but a large part of this kind of person is a liar, but it is not denied that some people are capable, although the current science can not explain all this, but this is real. Today Xiaobian will take you to know a Xiangshi - Yuan Tiangang, there was once a person who also went to him to tell his fortune, but Yuan Tiangang turned around and threw away the hanging gold, and also said that he would not collect money from the dead, so what is going on?
Yuan Tiangang was an astronomer during the Tang Taizong period, one of the more famous ancient Xiangshi, it is said that his divination was particularly accurate, and his reputation was constantly spread by the common people, spread to Tang Taizong, Li Shimin was a person who cherished talent, so he recruited him into the imperial court. Many high-ranking officials and nobles will find Yuan Tiangang to tell fortunes, one of them is called Hou Junji, he is a well-known general, he has been following when Tang Taizong was not yet emperor, deeply valued by Emperor Taizong, but he is a reckless man, there is no culture, the character is not particularly good, Yuan Tiangang himself is not willing to contact him, but he is a heavy minister of The Son of Heaven, there is no way to refuse.
Yuan Tiangang pinched his fingers, he knew the fate of Hou Junji, knew that he was about to die, but he could not say it directly, only said: "Everyone's fate is inviolable, it is predestined, I can't leak too much", did not get the answer he wanted, so he left the reward and left angrily. Yuan Tiangang immediately turned around and asked his subordinates to throw away the honorarium, and also said that they could not collect money from the dead, at that time, the subordinates were still wondering, General Hou was an important minister of the imperial court, who dared to assassinate him. It wasn't long before Hou Junji participated in the rebellion, and Li Shimin did not order Hou Junji to be killed, and only then did everyone understand the meaning of this sentence.
Conspiracy to rebel was a felony in ancient times, which no one in power could tolerate, in fact, with Hou Junji's military feats, Li Shimin originally wanted to spare his life, but he could not bear to kill his son, so he could only kill Hou Junji to set an example. This is also Hou Junji's life, no one dares to save him, after all, this is a major crime, in fact, Hou Junji also deserves it, he is already a close subject of the Son of Heaven, but he still has to move his mind, Hou Junji's death, but also let more people see Yuan Tiangang's talent, his art of divination is still praised by everyone.
Although Yuan Tiangang was relatively poor when he was a child, he was not willing to live ordinary, taught himself the art of divination, and practiced some talents, which was also a real skill, and his divination technique was very magical, which was popular at that time. Yi Jie Cloth Yi, with his own skills, was summoned by the emperor and became an official in the imperial court, and was welcomed by the civil and military officials, which was a real master-level figure, and the "Push Back Map" that he participated in compiling is still an essential book for fortune tellers.
